Dear Sir:
j,
SUBJECT:
POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE REFURBISHED CIR*Uli BF.EAKERS
{
The enclosed Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Information Notice (IN) 86-46.
5 describes the circumstances under which defective refurbished electrical equip.
ment' may have been suppliec-.to= nuclear power plants. Our continuing investige-tion of the five circuit breaker companies identified in the IN shows that the -
companies have shipped breakers to a number of government facilities and agencies.
Our. review of a sample of invoices indicates that generally the breakers are sold to a' distributor end it was only the occasional shipment direct to the'end 4
user that permitted us to identify the final government' destination.
b"
.I have' enclosed a copy of an. invoice that identifies your agency as the u
. customer.
These documents represent our review of a selection of records.
s' panning the last two or three years from all of the companies. As other records
. are reviewec, we will provide.any aeditional-infonnation that comes to light.
However, since!some of the companies have-been in business for As many as 30~
years,. a full' historical records search will not be possible.
- The five California companies appear to sell surplus new as well-as refurbished breakers.
However, their refurbished equipn.ent may be shipped in containers L
resembling original manufacturer containers.
L If there is any additional information you require, please call me or b
Mr. Walter Haass at (301) 492-3219.
Sincerely.
